PRACTICE — 02

Investment Management

Portfolios built to be held. We would rather own fewer things for longer than be busy in front of you.

Public markets first

Most of what a long-horizon family needs is available in daily-priced, low-cost, widely held instruments. We start there and require a specific reason to leave.

Private allocations, where patience is paid

We use private strategies only where the lock-up buys something a public market cannot offer, and only in sizes a family can forget about for a decade. Illiquidity is a cost before it is ever an advantage.

What we do not do

We do not trade around the news, run tactical overlays, or take a house view on the next twelve months. There is no in-house product to place, and no third party pays us to hold anything.
